Can leadership make me change my availability?

Ok I know Target can do whatever the hell they want, change rules, change dress code etc. But can they( store manager, TL) make you change your availability? So here is my problem.... just recently I got sick, I was out for 3 days I had a DR. note excusing me ok. Now I admit i have called out a few times on a specific day but haven't done so in a while. So now with no warning she tells me I have to switch up my days off, my unavailable days. I have had this same schedule for the 16 yrs. that i have been with the same Target(Minus the time i volunteered for the remodeling and for covering receiving for them) Cried my eyes out from anger and hurt. Thought they could of put me like on a probation status. So can they do that? Please tell me there is something I can do.

Welcome. Update your availability in workday.

They forgot to mention the *if / *or part of the request, if it is a request. Change your days IF you want to keep your hours OR you will lose them.
It's not an order, it's either a request (if your official in-the-system availability currently doesn't allow it) or a statement that they are changing your days (if your availability says you can work those days).

To the best of my knowledge, your TL cannot make you change your availability once it’s been approved. Leadership can deny any requests that you make to change your availability, but once your availability has been approved, however long ago, your leadership can’t change it without your consent, it’s supposed to be set in stone. It’s not official Target policy, of course, but some leaders who aren’t getting their way just might possibly cut your hours, try to performance you out, or make your work life as miserable as possible to try to get you to bend the knee or leave. Hope things work out for you. Good luck!
